We are a fast-paced business with ambitious growth plans; so if you are dedicated, enthusiastic and always seeking ways to improve, you'll enjoy a career with us!

Our breadth of expertise allows us to deliver quality established parts. We have industry-leading customers in all markets, including airframe OEMs, commercial airlines, US and foreign governments, and other aftermarket providers.

As the top supplier of established aircraft parts, leading OEMs around the world continue to license and divest their product lines to us, freeing them to focus on their other products. Ontic becomes the customer’s OEM, acquiring all manufacturing and supply chain responsibilities to ensure continued availability of established aircraft parts. Partnering with Ontic means companies can maximize the value of their established aircraft parts by divesting their product lines to us, so they can focus their resources elsewhere and reduce the strain on overheads. We follow a proven adoption process, so our product transitions minimize disruption to the customer and their operations. 

We are experts in low volume, high-mix manufacturing with faster delivery times and increased customer satisfaction.

Ontic offers several competitive advantages:

• Trusted partner relationships with key aviation OEMs

• Portfolio across commercial and military aviation markets

• Intellectual property with a high proportion of sole source revenue

• Knowledge and infrastructure to support multiple aircraft systems and product types

• Proven successful product and skills transition process
